Moonwalker: Manny Ramirez continues to be Manny Ramirez in Taiwan (video)
Not that it should come as a surprise to anyone, Manny Ramirez’s many peculiarities have not disappeared simply by him making the long trek to play professional baseball in Taiwan. In fact, Manny’s change of location has made his eccentricities that much more compelling, especially to his new fans in Asia, as evidenced by this [...]The post Moonwalker: Manny Ramirez continues...
Ryan Vogelsong's broken finger latest setback for Giants' struggling rotation
Let's just get the bad pun out of the way from the start. The San Francisco Giants caught a bad break on Monday night in their game against the Washington Nationals.
Though the Giants did shut out the Nats, 8-0, to snap a three-game losing streak, the defending World Series champions lost starting pitcher Ryan Vogelsong with a broken finger. Vogelsong was hit on the right...
GROSS
Marlins P Alex Sanabia spits all over ball
Miami Marlins pitcher Alex Sanabia had just given up a home run to the Phillies' Domonic Brown and he reacted by throwing a spit ball.
Marlins pitcher Alex Sanabia channels Gaylord Perry
Alex Sanabia had a good night Monday. Over 6 1/3 innings, Sanabia gave up only one run on seven hits, while walking one and striking out three, and earned his third win of the season. The rest of his week might not go so well, however. After giving up a home run to Domonic Brown in the top of the second inning, Sanabia received a new ball from the umpire, and promptly spat upon it...
Things Spiralling Out Of Control For Ike Davis Offensively And Defensively
ALDERSON DOING METS A DISSERVICE IN STAYING WITH DAVIS
Perhaps Sandy Alderson knew of Andrew Brown’s strained oblique when he said there was nothing imminent about sending Ike Davis to the minor leagues. Assuming he did not, it is puzzling as to why he’s in no hurry to ship out his struggling first baseman.
Eventually, Alderson said, “everything comes to a head at some point...
Miguel Cabrera Continues to Dominate Baseball
Mark Blinch / Reuters file
Less than a year ago, Miguel Cabrera became the first player in the past 45 years to win the prestigious Triple Crown (leading the league in home runs, RBI, and batting average). The Detroit Tigers third baseman is making a bid to accomplish this feat again, in consecutive seasons nonetheless, something that has never been done in the history of Major...
The Yankees are about to become the most ungrateful team in sports, and I am now dreading the return of the superstar lineup
Damn. I feel like the cad who falls for his best friend's fiance, while the guy is off at the Star Fleet Academy. I keep telling myself, "No, this is NOT happening! I'll break it off! I'm am not falling for Brian's girl!" Then the girl - her name is Lyle - homers in the seventh, and you can't take your eyes off her, and later, you're together in...
Patrick Corbin Is Pitching In Stealth Mode
Patrick Corbin who most casual baseball fans have never heard of is now 7-0 to start the year with a 1.44 ERA, slightly below the league leader Clayton Kershaw. The lefty is 7-0 with 2 no decisions, and the Diamondbacks are 9-0 in games he has started. In his 9 starts, he has allowed 2 runs twice, 1 run four times and 0 runs twice. With all the talk about young pitchers such...

Manny 'moonwalks' after losing his balance
Manny Ramirez had another hilarious moment during a baseball game in Taiwan over the weekend when he threw himself so off-balance after taking a big swing on a foul ball that he ended up backpedaling to prevent himself from falling. By the time he finally regained his bearings, Ramirez had walked backwards at least 20 feet from home plate. A nightly news program in Taiwan found...

Halo Headlines: Albert Pujols doesn't matter anymore, rekindling the Cabrera-Trout debate

The Story: Albert Pujols doesn't matter anymore.
The Monkey Says: I cannot counter any of this. Pujols just isn't a top player anymore, at least not while his body is broken down the way it is...
Who Is Going To Replace Vogelsong?
Well, that wasn’t nice to watch.
I’ve been rough on Ryan Vogelsong this season because, well, his pitching had been pretty rough. I thought he’d be the first one to miss a start, but not like this. Seeing him get hit on the hand pretty much ruined a big win that the Giants (and their fans) needed.
Vogelsong’s comeback story will always be one of my favorite stories of...

After finally earning my semi-endorsement, Yankees starter Phil Hughes went on to have his worst outing yet.
Hughes couldn’t muster enough to get through the first inning in his last outing vs. the Mariners.
He got tagged for seven earned...

Where would we be without Travis Hafner and Vernon Wells?
Once again, it was the two off-season acquisitions who came up with the big hits, powering the Yanks to their 12th come-from-behind victory of the season. Down 4-3 in the 9th, Hafner blasted a game-tying, opposite-field shot to left field, providing...
